S. supreme court’s right to pass on federal legislation. But it is reported that much sentiment is developing in favor of a law that would increase the supreme court’s work on constitutional cases, in- stead of diminishing it. What is being proposed, in fact, is a law to confine consti- tutional issues to the supreme court, thus cutting out all lower court delays. As things are now, if you wish to test a law’s constitu- tionality, you file suit in the lower court. In a year or so, you get a decision. This, in all likelihood, is carried to the court of appeals. After another six months or more, that court hands down smarck Tribune Published daily except Sunday by The Bismarck Tribune Company, Bis-| (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Behind Scenes Washington Washington, Jan. 12.—A host of writers have voiced their views on the familiar questions of what will peppen under er in the next four years and will the president “turn right or left”? Certain of these forecasts are much more important than the others and the cream of the crop to date—in this writer's opinion—are recent articles by Dr. Stanley High in Lib- erty, Ernest K. Lindley in the Na- tion, and Dr. Rexford G. Tugwell in the New Republic. All three writers are personal friends of Roosevelt; all three have discussed his policies with him. High was one of the half dozen men closest to Roosevelt in the cam- Tana tay one Cr eae an eenen wi on his speeches. Lindley, a first-class reporter, as well as perhaps the most intellectual of the Washington correspondents, was Roosevelt's authorized 1932 bi- ographer and has written probably the best available evaluation of the Ney Deal in “Half Way With Roose- velt.” Tugwell was once the president's top brain-truster and is likely to be an influential adviser in future months, ee & F. D. RB. Expects Barrages Roosevelt expects to be assailed from the right for going too far and from the left for not going far enough, ac- cording to High. He indicates F. D. R. is ready to take to the radio against certain newspapers if they repeat the distortion and misrepre- sentation of which the president feels they were guilty in the campaign. Roosevelt will go ahead with poli- cles for the regulation of business monopoly and economic power, High believes, but not until he first tries its decision. That, in turn, is carried along to the supreme}, court, which has the final say. Very, very rarely does the ruling of a lower court as to a law’s constitutionality stand by itself. So there is good sense in the suggestion that all such cases be confined to the supreme court from the start. Decision on weighty constitutional issues should be much speedier under fuch system, Healthy Sign In an Oklahoma courtroom, recently, a high-salaried oil company executive sat with 11 other jurors, at $3 a day, to hear a chicken-stealing case. And a court official of the city points out that such attention to a civic duty is becoming less unusual. “A few years ago,” he reveals, “men of large affairs avoided jury service, but in recent months we have had a num- ber of prominent men on juries.” If this trend is noticeable in other cities, also, it would be interesting to learn just what is responsible. It is possible that in hectic boom days these men subordinated their duties as citi- zens to the pursuit of profits; and that the common struggle through hard times revived their sense of responsibility to their fellow citizens, In any event, the trend is, as the official pointed out, “a healthiy sign of revived interest in government, and an excellent example for the community.” Romance and Recklessness Offhand, there would seem to be little relation between marriage and reckless driving—but listen to Ray Ingels, direc- tor of motor vehicles, state of California: “Department records show many single men, formerly * Jisted as habitual violators of traffic laws, who became model Grivers after they were married. Perhaps the greater responsi- bility,” continues Mr. Ingels, “curbs their reckless tendencies.” Or perhaps there is another reason. -With marriage, for instance, a man’s driving technic may undergo a decided thange. Before, the task of manipulating steering wheel, horn, brake, etc., sometimes is left to one hand, while the other rests id affectionately about a companion’s neck. After the ceremony, the man not only has both hands free| Ply. fo operate his car, but he may be assisted by sharp directions from the back seat. Whatever the explanation, it is pleasant to know that Cupid can be an aid, as well as a detriment, to safe driving. : Demented Deed It was a shock but not particularly a surprise to America when the body of 10-year-old Charles Mattson, Tacoma kidnap Victim, was found Monday. ‘There had been indications that this was somewhat similar bo the tragic Lindbergh case in which payment of a $50,000 _ Sansom failed to produce the child alive. It was obvious from the beginning that here was one of those queer crimes without rhyme or reason which spring from the mind of a demented person. The manner of the kidnaping and the apparent silence which has greeted recent efforts to| Des get in touch with the abductor all were cause for apprehension. Discovery of the body only justified the fears which had been expressed by many persons, As it stands today the crime is shrouded in mystery. There bs is no explanation for it which the average mind can understand. if the G-men unravel it they wil do well indeed. Orchids for the South One of the excellent records hung up in the year 1936 is the fact that the lynching evil declined substantially. The year aw nine lynchings—and while it may be remarked that that ‘was just nine too many, it should be noticed that it was 11 fewer than 1935's total. Furthermore, there were 35 cases in which courageous officers of the law prevented attempted lynchings; and 30 of these cases were recorded in the deep south. Altogether, 69 people—all but seven of them colored—were saved from vio- lence at the hands of mobs. ___ It is cause for congratulation, that record. And it empha- tizes a fact which northern critics too often overlook—that the average southern official, supported by the sentiment of his ‘own locality, is aware of his duty and brave enough to carry ft out, declined in the last four.” Further predictions: The, U. 8. : Chamber of Commerce and business ° lobbyists will have less authority.
